I love clean living, whether it’s inside my home, office, car, yard, and even my handbag. So if I am going to keep everything uncluttered on the outside, I’ve got to remember to keep it all as clean as possible on the inside . . . of myself! Over the holiday break from classes I had some time to watch TV and fell in love with all of the healthy advice provided by the Dr. Oz Show and web-site. So much invaluable information on nutrition is shared from a variety of experts that helps us understand just how much each organ of our bodies is affected by what we put into them. Dr. Oz has developed an especially effective de-tox and energizing green smoothie that’s high in fiber, rich in vitamins, and low in calories.
I found several other green drinks/smoothies on Pinterest that have been given a nod for success that I’d like to try simply for variety. I’ve put those together below, along with the correct citation of their origins for you. Each of their creators say that they really have an increased level of energy to get through their busy days. Other benefits discovered are better weight loss, improved digestive and immune systems, and more radiant skin, nails, and hair! And who doesn’t need and want those?
from Green Monster Movement
1 handful of ice
1 handful of frozen fruit (strawberries, papaya, mango, bananas, and pineapple)
1 cup of almond milk
2 handfuls of spinach
1/2 c. to 3/4 c. of vanilla or plain yogurt
1 tbsp. of chia or flax seeds
1 tbsp. of honey
Simply place all ingredients in the blender
I love this! I truly feel weighted down this holiday season – even if I didn’t indulge as much as in the past. I also found a “green soup” that I adore and am making it part of my routine through the winter. This is perfect timing, Roz. Off to buy some ingredients!
Looks like its war on everything bad for you Roz. Love all of the combinations here.
How funny, that’s what I’ve been blogging about lately too. I’ve been trying out dr. oz’s green juice.

roz, my oldest has been making these smoothies for a while.. she noticed that her hair, nails grow fast and her skin has cleared up… sometimes she will put kale in it…
They are gorgeous…but green drinks still freak me out! ha
awesome recipes happy new year
How wonderful these recipes are! Thank you for sharing, now if we can find a smoothie for that gray hair I found last week!
Perfect timing ~ I was just looking into juicing and detox recipes. I grazed my way through the holidays and now I’m paying for it … ugh!
Jo
I read them and they sound fine. Most of them, I think, I would even enjoy. I hope so.
One of your soups was featured here.

Stop by, if you have a moment.
some power drinks i can’t do but these I think I could manage. They sound healthy but delicious
Hiya Roz! My juicer has been pushed away on the top shelf of my pantry. Time to get it down! I’m assuming these are once a day drinks?
A healthy combination. Dr OZ is inspiriting too. Hugs!
A very good idea, and some great recipes. I used to do this years ago, and should get back to it!
Wow, Roz…you tested so many recipes. I’ve been wanting to make a green smoothie. Thanks for giving me a push in the right direction
I simply love making smoothies and love reading other peoples recipes.
I love your site.
This is a great detox. I also follow a blog that this lady makes this really good raspberry flax seed shake that is good for detoxing. I lost a pound a day when I was drinking this. It’s the fiber.
